In my opinion, this is no big deal at all.

There are collapsable pushrod tubes that can be gotten for about $20 each.
After you've done it once, you can replace a tube in about 20 minutes with a
wrench or two and one screwdriver.

Hi,

I have a report of oil leaks from the Driver's Side Push rod tubes on
a bus I am looking at, is this a big deal?

I get the impression the VW aircooled is very easy to fix.

I already have a 1995 VW Jetta TD.
